Weekend, folks, live it large.

Folks

Hope you take your weekend seriously and make the most of it, even if that means hitting the sack and catching some long postponed z's.

Some of my Bloggionistas from yard made mention of the yard born now turned English cleric, who was preaching a bunch of rhetoric in London which landed him in jail, and now he has been deported to Jamaica, having lived in London for 22 years. Here is the Gleaner article. Note the part about him encouraging the London bombers. Not nice at all. He will still be a muslim when he gets here, but one supposes that he won't have as much Governmental pro-American sentiment to preach about, as he would have in England.. I don't know, maybe he will have to preach about Chavez..

Interesting writeup in the NY Times about India's expanding economy, and its population which will exceed that of China's in a few decades. here it is .

We have quite a few hundred Indians here - the majority from the Island of Goa, the majority working as chefs and security guards. A bit of rumours/scandal spreading about them at the moment, because their families pay huge sums to employment "agents" in India (more like loan sharks really), in default of which serious harm befalls either the relevant overseas worker or their families in India. This came to light following the attack of one of the guards whilst on duty here, and then his subsequent demise by a reported "suicide".

Here's hoping you have a wonderful weekend - I am starting by staying home with my boys whilst the Mrs. goes out tonight !

Sayonara.

He could still preach; seems there's always another cause to preach about in J.A.

I started by watching a movie with the Mrs. last nite. This morning I got up and played some indoor football with some of the people I work with, down by Kings Gym. Actually, I kicked the ball around a bit and I watched them play while sitting on my fat ass! I am so unfit, it should be illegal! It was still fun though...
Mr. Ri, Natty and I are going to join the squash club, so if you have patience (we are beginners), maybe you can join us for a bit of a knock about sometime.

Yeah, I heard that story. Sick of the Yanks and brits dumping our worst back onto our shores. The Indians? Hornier than the Chinese? Who knew?

Well he'll have plenty to preach about, the bad roads, the unemployment. As long as he doesn't preach what he's been preaching.

How big is the muslim population in Jamaica anyways? He will only have chat if someone follows him. The way I see it he'll have to battle rastafari for disenfranchised youts to convert might be an uphill battle

People who preach violence ain't religious, them is is just violent people.

What I mean is, those violent folks use religion as a means to gain the trust of others. They pretend to be religious, even fooling themselves.

They want to be violent and seek excuses for it.
